	General Introduction \| Islamic Origins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The rise of Islam was simultaneously the beginning of the decline (in the numerical sense, at least) of Eastern Christianity, Near Eastern Judaism, and Zoroastrianism--long-established faiths with powerfully developed religious traditions that, over the subsequent centuries, were increasingly marginalized by the growing Muslim community.
		Nagging difficulties in the sources were periodically noted by various scholars, and awkward issues of broader interpretation occasionally identified, but generally the scholarship of this period was marked by a complacent confidence that we knew "what had actually happened" and, in large measure, understood what it meant.
		Wansbrough also expressed profound pessimism about the ability of the modern historian to say anything meaningful about Islam's origins, which he considers to be completely obscured by an impenetrable fog of later polemic and redactional overlay.

	Saybrook: Historical Origins
		In 1969, Dr.Eleanor Criswell, a professor at California State University, Sonoma proposed to the AHP that an educational program be established to provide an innovative, learner-centered and rigorous educational environment devoted to the study of humanistic psychology and humanistic psychological research.
		Under the name The Humanistic Psychology Institute and lead by Dr.Criswell and pioneer somatics researcher Dr.Thomas Hanna, the school began to coalesce, offering graduate courses in humanistic psychology; and in 1971 a master's program was added, and a doctoral program in 1972.
		In honor of the conference in Connecticut the now autonomous school changed its name to Saybrook Institute in order to reflect the wider disciplinary scope and to project a new image, which reflected the Institute's dedication to the highest standards of s cholarship and research.

		Participants are not expected to have the linguistic or methodological training to undertake original research with primary documents.
		In some instances, where particularly heavy loads of reading are assigned, readings will be apportioned out among the participants, and teams of participants will prepare a brief written evaluation of their assigment for general distribution, and make a brief oral presentation on it to stimulate discussion.
		Each participant will also be asked to prepare, during the course of the Institute, two short (6-10 page) literature reviews, in which he or she will undertake a comparative analysis of a number of pieces of scholarship (chosen from the assigned Institute readings, with additional readings suggested by the faculty if the participant desires).

	Whitehead Institute - Evolutionary Origins of Life
		The new ribozyme, generated by David Bartel and his colleagues at the Whitehead, can carry out a remarkably complicated and challenging reaction, especially given that it was not isolated from nature but created from scratch in the laboratory.
		The reaction must be accurate in incorporating nucleotides based on the template strand, general enough that any template can be copied, and efficient enough to add on a large number of nucleotides,” says Wendy Johnston, first author on the paper and research associate in the Bartel lab.
		“A fundamental question about the origin of life is what class of molecules gave rise to some of the earliest life forms?” says Bartel.

	The Origin of the Moon
		Two PSI senior scientists, Dr. William K. Hartmann and Dr. Donald R. Davis, were the first to suggest the leading modern hypothesis of the moon's origin, in a paper published in 1975 in the journal Icarus.
		A collection of papers from that meeting was published by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (Houston) in the 1986 book, Origin of the Moon, edited by PSI scientist William Hartmann, together with Geoffry Taylor and Roger Phillips.
		In the 1990's, Dr. Robin Canup wrote a Ph.D. dissertation on the moon's origin and the giant impact hypothesis, which produced new modeling of the aggregation of the debris into moonlets, and eventually, into the moon itself.
